During cold/inclimate weather I use Lake winter cycling boots w/2 pair of socks. One thin and one 100% wool knee high. Shoe cover options consist of Bellweather, Performance, Look and Nashbar. They're used in combination w/different shoe/sock configurations depending on the type of weather. The main thing if using cycling shoes w/covers is to remember to not use shoes w/mesh insteps as it defeats the purpose of the shoe covers.

It doesn't snow that much here in TN, but if I still lived in Chicago I'd have a rig set up w/Power Grips and low psi wide studded tires, that's for sure. Rubber, wool lined boots and waterproof pants w/elastic cuffs and gaiters, too. Started my cycle-commuting career in the Windy in the beginning of February, so my learning curve was steep. I was on a 3d hand road bike and thought falling down in the slush was just part of the drill.
+1 for me as well. Every place I work, I always ask during the hiring process. "I will require a very small place to keep a bike pannier, shoes and maybe a pair of clothes." I dont care where it is, could be the janitors closest, basement, I dont care, but I got to have somewhere.
